Leave a Legacy

Plant the seeds of your personal legacy in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. By including the Conservancy in your estate plans you can be a part of one of Scottsdale’s greatest accomplishments, the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, and ensure that future generations will enjoy this living treasure just as we do today.

Citizens of Scottsdale had the remarkable vision to save the mountains and desert in what is now the McDowell Sonoran Preserve -- the largest urban preserve in the country -- as a respite from the urban sprawl overtaking the metro Phoenix area. Since its inception, the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy has benefited from the foresight of generous friends who have included the Conservancy in their wills, knowing that by doing so they would help ensure that the Preserve would endure long into the future.

By carefully considering your gift to the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy in conjunction with your estate and financial planning, you can take advantage of some creative opportunities that can help you maximize your assets. These gifts, tailored to your individual circumstances and needs, ensure that the beauty of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve will be enjoyed by future generations.
